MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file was detected as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Win.Trojan.Agent-36166. Static analysis revealed embedded JavaScript, indicating a likely attack pattern involving the execution of malicious code. The JavaScript's purpose is presumed to be downloading and executing a second-stage payload, which is a common technique for malware delivery. The confidence is moderate due to the lack of specific script content analysis.
